OFFICIALS SLAGGING OFF OUR TEAM AT HALF TIME - ITK

[moomba]

How come every fucking post on here becomes an attack on Hughes.

Because people incorrectly presume that any comment critical of performances, results or actions is a direct attack on Hughes.

It's almost as if defending Hughes has become more important than talking about the club for some.

Can't quite figure out what is so wrong with what was said (if said as quoted)?

If we knew what the 'what do you think of that' part is all about then maybe... I imagine most refs booked Bellamy last year didn't they?

I agree, maybe not the wisest thing to allow yourself to be overheard, but it's the sort of conversation I think would be repeated at every ground.

Not really proof of the conspiracy everyone is so keen on though.

Jesus christ you are annoying.

Re: Battenburg: Likes And Doesn't Like Our Players. S/H Chat...

I've gotta disagree with you. Fergie WOULD get lambasted but only because he is a disgrace in that his way of accepting defeat is to blame the referee who 9 times out of 10 has had an average match. The Wiley case in particular was a personal attack on a referee who was so obviously innocent that Fergie came out and had to backtrack on what he had said.

In this case, Hughes is rightly questioning the referee AND his officials for making so many crucial mistakes. He is right to highlight Clattenburg and co's mistakes today unlike Ferguson who does it everytime they lose.

I have no problems with him questioning the referee, although my personal preference is that a City manager talks about how we will improve, how we performed, where we didn't do so well rather than things outside our control.


I just think he went beyond comments on a referees performance today.

It did yes and that was the point. When a ref is calling a City player a "fucking bastard" then he is not going to judge that player impartially (as he is meant to) so Hughes was right to state that he was unhappy with officials discussing which players they did not like.

How you can have a problem I do not know.

You were not at the game or bothered to watch it online and you have a go at the result. I was there today and I am proud of the lads playing against Bolotn and the officials. Not to mention I have never known a City side that just refuses to be beaten and I am happy with our league position at present. But then again I am a supporter not a "fan".

I'd imagine most refs think Bellamy is a fucking bastard, it doesn't mean they deliberately set out to give decisions against him.

If it makes you feel better about yourself that you're a better supporter than me then be my guest. I'm happy with my support of the club, don't really care if someone on the Internet thinks otherwise.

lets face it if clattenburg had said that about a sky big four player he would be lucky to get a game on the blocksages dukinfield on a sunday morning, how can he not be impartial if he hates some of our players, on that sunday supplement baldieman from the sun dismissed the comments by clattenburg with a wave of the hand, if i was hughes i would milk this to put pressure on these officials with an ulterior motive in our games?

Surely there is enough reason for the FA/Prem league to look into this now?

If this was against the Rags you can guarantee it would have made the back pages of todays papers and there would be an investigation commencing on Monday.

Clattenberg = 100% bent twat imo

Was Clattenburg not banned for being involved in corrupt betting? Later proved there was not enough evidence?

based on yesterday's game i'd suggest they have enough evidence for a hanging

It doesn't make me feel better about myself, just less about about you.

I am sure some refs do think some players are fucking bastards yes. But to air those views with your assistants before and during a game is not right as it may influence the assistants thinking. Not to mention, airing those views and then giving two very dubious cards (more than one player complained about Boltons 3rd goal - if you were there, you would have seen) - is somewhat unfortunate would you not agree?

As for everyone thinking Bellamy a twat or whatever, as has been stated previously, Jef Winter said he was his favourite player to referee.

But it is far more fun slating, Hughes, City or anyone else that doesn't agree with your own current agenda.

1st Bolton goal - Klasnic Offside
1st half Klasnic offside but no flag.
2nd Bolton goal - Throw in was taken with 1 foot about 2 foot off the ground resulting in a foul throw.
Bellamy 2nd yellow - Foul on Bellamy.

There was more incidents like these throughout the game too.

Bolton 3rd goal from throw in that should have been awarded to City (which Bellamy and other complained about, Bellamy booked)
